I am a junior Finance major and a member of DAARSTOC, Rider鈥檚 executive skill-building organization. I joined the Student Government Association as a transfer student to get to know Rider and the community better, and I quickly discovered a passion for advocating for students. As Vice President of University Affairs, I work closely with administrators, faculty, and students to enhance the student experience and ensure that student voices are represented in university decisions. My involvement in SGA has strengthened my leadership, communication, and strategic planning skills while allowing me to contribute meaningfully to Rider鈥檚 continued growth and success.
